Maradona's Body 'Must Be Conserved In Case His DNA Is Needed - Court

The body of late soccer great Diego Maradona 'must be conserved' in case his DNA is needed in a paternity case, an Argentine court ruled on Wednesday.

Maradona died of a heart attack last month and was buried on Nov. 26 in a cemetery just outside Buenos Aires.

While Maradona's lawyer had previously told news agency Reuters that DNA samples already exist, the court said the former Boca Juniors and Napoli player's body must not be cremated at a later date.
